The Opportunity
Even the best crafted strategic plans can become an anchor, tying the retail organization to an expected future which may never materialize. As a result, many retailers and distributors have adopted a discipline designed to create an instinctive ability to envision alternative futures, to recognize them as they reveal themselves and to refine strategy deployment based upon shifting future business environments. This process, Scenario Planning, is intended to help the retail organization “think the unthinkable” about the future as a prelude to developing strategies which can produce acceptable results across a range of plausible alternative future business environments.
